Four Stranded Braids Made With Plastic Bags
Braiding with plastic bags is a great way to make trim for some of your recycled crafting projects, and a great way to keep those plastic bags out of the trash! At least when you braid them, if they do end up in the trash, they'll do a lot less damage as they're already broken down somewhat. And if you ever find yourself on that island of plastic bottles and bags located somewhere out in the Pacific ocean, well, you'll be able to keep yourself busy. Sadly enough. I am in the middle of making some fun recycled crafts using plastic bottles and plarn (plastic bag yarn) and I needed…

Milk Carton Craft For Kids: Fun Animal Desk Organizers
Looking for a fun craft for kids (or to make for kids) that is just truly adorable? You've found it! This milk carton craft that results in the cutest little milk carton animal boxes is truly a keeper, and requires minimal supplies. So save those milk cartons (I was driving my family crazy with a cabinet stuffed full of them) and have fun creating a whole menagerie. The more the better, and while they make great little desk or craft cubby organizers, you can also use them as sweet party favor boxes, or in our case, to hold little edible gifts for our Purim shaloch manos, or as we generally…

Tu B’Shevat Centerpiece From Recycled Cans And Sticks
Tu B'Shevat, the Jewish New Year for the trees is coming this Sunday night, so lets fill our homes with fruity decorations and crafts to honor this special day. For starters, how about this simple recycled can vase filled with bare branches? You can decorate it in so many ways, namely with little pink or white blossoms or some other reference to fruit like these apple slice ornaments that you can make with my printable fruit slice crafting pages. The vase itself is made by covering cans with my printable fruit slice coloring pages, and the results are something that everyone will be proud of, as it is simply festive…

Tu B’Shevat Tissue Paper Luminaries Craft
Celebrate Tu B’Shevat, the Jewish new year for the trees, with fun tea light holders that are so simple to make, you can whip up a whole orchard for your holiday table !! Tu B'Shevat celebrations include a festive meal where an array of fresh and dried fruits are eaten. Kids can help make this day even more special with some fun tissue paper collage on recycled jars that depicts citrus fruits in the orchard, and adding a few animals and characters brings the cuteness up a notch, don't you think? So soak the labels off those jars you've been saving, get out the tissue paper, and let the fun…

Soda Bottle Organizers With Hand Printed Cherry Blossom Paper
Cherry blossom crafts or in our case actually Almond blossom crafts are so much fun and a perfect way to add some color to a dreary winter! With the Jewish holiday of Tu B'Shevat (the New Year for the trees) coming up in another three or so weeks, now is the time to get crafting for the holiday, right? And since I can always use more little containers to hold brushes and pens and other supplies while I'm in the middle of a project, I figured that these soda bottle organizers would be a perfect way to enjoy the cherry blossom paper that I stamped! Not to mention that these…

Geometric Woven String Star Gift Toppers And Place Cards
Geometric string stars are so fun to weave, and they also happen to look great at gift toppers and gift tags! I just love how they look on my hand stamped olive branch wrapping paper, and if you're making them for your own family, well, you can save them afterwards to make a geometric string star garland!
